About
About LitRPG Critic
LitRPG Critic is an editorial site covering LitRPG, progression fantasy, dungeon core, and GameLit fiction — the fast-growing subgenres where stats, skills, and leveling systems take center stage.
We publish ranked lists, sub-genre breakdowns, series reviews, and new release coverage. The goal is simple: help readers find their next great read in a genre that now produces hundreds of new titles every month across Amazon, Audible, and Royal Road.
Editorial Approach
Data-ranked lists use community data from LitRPGTools.com, the community tracking platform for LitRPG readers, and preserve the source ordering without publisher weighting. Reviews, explainers, and author spotlights are clearly editorial surfaces where we add analysis and recommendations.
Our Data
Rankings and book data — ratings, covers, author information, series metadata, and genre classifications — are sourced from LitRPGTools.com, which tracks thousands of titles across the genre using a combination of community ratings and editorial classification.
Most independent review sites can only cover books they've personally read — a few dozen titles at best. We have real data behind our rankings. Community ratings reflect genuine reader response, not editorial preference alone.
Ownership & Publisher Relationships
LitRPG Critic is owned and operated by Pivot Press Publishing. Pivot Press publishes and collaborates with authors covered in this genre. Articles and author spotlights that discuss an affiliated author, series, or title carry a disclosure.
Publisher affiliation does not change community-data ranking order. We do not sell rank positions or accept third-party sponsored rankings.
Amazon Affiliate Links
Links to Amazon on this site are affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps support the site. Affiliate revenue does not change community-data ranking order.
